    No brakes

    Did you bench bleed the master cylinder properly before installing? Be careful with the H shaped tool, I bought one of those off of Amazon and the center portion was built longer than the tool which inevitably made me adjust my pushrod shorter than it should be. I go by feel just sizing up the...

    Rear taillight won't go off

    Do you have the third brake light installed? That one is the easy indicator to tell if your brake switch is wonky or not because it's a simple on and off with the brake light switch. Meaning that if you do have the third brake installed and it is NOT on (but works fine with the brake pedal being...

    Mystery Hose

    Transfer case breather and goes up to a clip/bracket on the firewall behind the motor that holds it.

    Dana 35 carrier question

    For the carrier spot to be 1.575” and not yet 1.625”, I guess you do have the 1995 carrier and somehow that one side got wallowed out or something. Definitely no good. Sounds like whoever went in there before had little clue what they were doing, especially with the extra side gear thrust...

    Dana 35 carrier question

    The carrier changed for 3.55-4.10 in 1994 and 3.07 in 1995. The side gear bore became smaller in the newer model. It sounds like somebody swapped in an older carrier with the larger bore and used one of the newer smaller side gears in it or something. There should be practically no play in the...

    Push the brake light switch forward towards the pedal in the bracket it’s installed in.

    Has anyone successfully removed the ECU from behind the glovebox and grab handle?

    No. Pre 91 had older different size ECMs that were inside the cab on top of the heater. 4.0 has it same where yours is.

    External Slave Cylinder Conversion Issues

    I am not sure about the burning smell but it is 100% normal for you to have to push the slave cylinder up against the release fork. There is a spring in the slave cylinder that keeps the release fork pushed toward and the throw out bearing constantly riding against the pressure plate so that...

    1995 Wrangler Rio Grande Build

    5th gear shouldn’t spin in neutral unless your wheels are rolling. The direction connection to the counter shaft is with the input shaft on the AX transmissions so it’s the output shaft that sits still in neutral, which should mean that 5th is sitting still. Or technically the output is sitting...

    1994 Hunter Green SE “Back to Stock” Thread

    I see no issues with that setup at all. I honestly forget about the small lift options like the one you have. They aren’t very common. Hear more about 2.5” which is too much for what I wanted. For 30’s, 1.5” is about perfect and yours looks great and should barely affect the handling. All my...

    1994 Hunter Green SE “Back to Stock” Thread

    Hi - yes, it is original paint. Where it is undisturbed it still looks pretty great. The doors have some fading from the sun and there is a portion of the windshield frame where the paint was wiped right off by an 18 wheeler tire blowout where a large chunk of rubber was thrown at my direction...

    Leakage into the back seat floorboard

    I don't know how it would make it into the carpet unless the floor has open holes in it....usually fluid that hits the muffler is slung by the driveshaft and is usually transfer case oil. Does it have a stock driveshaft?

    Bad motor mount?

    Motor mounts are just large chunks of rubber encased in stamp steel shells. I don't think it's your motor mounts. It's probably going to be some sort of bearing whether it's the PS pump or alternator, or something in the drivetrain.

    Lockless half doors

    All half doors were lockless until around 1989 or 1990. I forget exactly when they started adding locks. I would prefer lockless myself because locks on half doors are stupid and pointless. Unfortunately though, parts are now unobtainable because you need parts for an only 3-4 year span vs all...

    1994 Hunter Green SE “Back to Stock” Thread

    Well, I guess I can say “scratch that” to the idea of putting lights in the Warn bumper. This bumper design is in such a way that even the lights with minimal thickness either don’t fit of barely fit. I received the Rigid Ignite lights and can tell they will bottom out on the frame crossmember...

    Wheel spacers

    From a handling standpoint it will increase scrub radius a decent bit and might make the steering effort a bit higher. Might want to adjust your toe a bit further toe’d in to help combat the higher scrub radius. Strength wise things are fine. The ball joints and wheel bearings may wear out...

    YJ rear disc brake upgrade

    That should be the same brakes as the others. Good with your current equipment.

    YJ rear disc brake upgrade

    No need to change anything if the disc brake setup you’re using is TJ or Ford 8.8 sized or similar. The factory rear disc TJs used the same combo valve and master cylinder regardless of disc or drum.

    Radiator Fan Recommendations

    You're better off finding a shroud. I have yet to see any aftermarket electric fan that outperforms the stock fan.

    YJ shackles

    I'm not sure what's going on here....it really shouldn't matter too much what the torque of the bolts is, because the shackle plates clamp the sleeve and the sleeve rotates inside the bushings as the spring flexes. Something must have been seized or something. As the shackle pivots, the sleeve...
